Consciousness begins with bodily awareness, your simple sense of being present, your rudimentary sense of self. Your bodily awareness possesses the innate intention to be conscious. Paying attention means exercising your intention to be conscious. Attention begins by vesting energy into sensory awareness, thereby intensifying awareness and increasing its byproduct which is bodily awareness. This heightens your sense of being present, your consciousness. The energy of which you consist increases and accelerates under the pressure of attention and is converted into conscious energy, the Force of consciousness. There is an energetic medium that interpenetrates the physical body. It is the medium of sensation and perception. Under the pressure of attention, this energy is converted into conscious energy and develops into an energetic body. The energetic body grows within the physical body. A fully developed energetic body is fully conscious and constitutes the immortal soul.
